How do I know the measurement units corresponding to a given locale?

As far as I know, the C standards and GNU gettext do not offer any way to know the measurement units used in a country, there are no third party libraries that do the job and there are no ready to used databases (free or proprietary).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
